Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Area of stationary object
If multiple display modules are stitched together to form a display wall, then the display size and coverage area are increased, but errors occur during stitching and installation due to different hardware characteristics and parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The control interface is segmented into two distinct display regions: a first display region showing virtual block images representing ideal positions, and a second display region showing display module connection images representing actual physical positions. This segmentation allows users to independently view and adjust the mapping relationship between virtual and physical configurations, thereby improving stitching accuracy despite hardware variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a virtual copy (virtual block images) of the desired display wall configuration and allows users to drag and drop these virtual blocks onto the actual display module connection images. This copying mechanism enables users to plan and adjust the configuration before physical installation, reducing errors caused by hardware characteristic differences.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a flexible allocation mechanism is implemented to accommodate different hardware characteristics, then the adaptability of the display system is improved, but the complexity of the configuration mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces complex physical configuration adjustments with a graphical user interface-based drag and drop operation. Instead of requiring users to manually configure physical connections or write code, the system allows configuration through intuitive visual manipulation of virtual block images on the control interface, thereby reducing operational complexity while maintaining high adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The control interface acts as an intermediary between the user and the display module configuration. The virtual block images serve as intermediaries that represent physical display modules, allowing users to allocate physical connection configurations indirectly through visual drag and drop operations rather than direct hardware manipulation, simplifying the configuration process.
3Ease of operation
If a user-friendly control interface is provided to facilitate simple and quick allocation, then the ease of operation is improved, but the device complexity may increase due to additional software components
Solution Approach 1:
The control interface enables users to perform self-service configuration by allowing them to directly drag and drop virtual block images to desired positions. The system automatically processes these user actions and updates the physical connection configuration accordingly, eliminating the need for complex manual configuration procedures or technical expertise while maintaining operational simplicity.
